Bioelectronic modulation of carotid sinus nerve to treat type 2 diabetes: curre...
Conde, Silvia V.; Sacramento, Joana F.; Zinno, Ciro; Mazzoni, Alberto; Micera, Silvestro; Guarino, Maria P.Bioelectronic medicine are an emerging class of treatments aiming to modulate body nervous activity to correct pathological conditions and restore health. Recently, it was shown that the high frequency electrical neuromodulation of the carotid sinus nerve (CSN), a small branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve that connects the carotid body (CB) to the brain, restores metabolic function in type 2 diabetes (T2D) ani...
Roadmap on nanomedicine for the central nervous system
Ciofani, Gianni; Campisi, Marco; Mattu, Clara; Kamm, Roger D.; Chiono, Valeria; Raynold, Aji Alex Moothedathu; Freitas, João S.; Redolfi Riva, EugenioIn recent years, a great deal of effort has been undertaken with regards to treatment of pathologies at the level of the central nervous system (CNS). Here, the presence of the blood-brain barrier acts as an obstacle to the delivery of potentially effective drugs and makes accessibility to, and treatment of, the CNS one of the most significant challenges in medicine. In this Roadmap article, we present the stat...
